The mes sage which thee senators brought to their WASHINGTON. Feb. X In a brief siate- ment In the senate today Mr. Cullom of Illinois said that never had a dollar been corruptly lined In any of his elections. He declared the people of Illinois to be a moral as those of any other mate and aald they could take rare of their o"vn good home. Announcing that he took the floor only because of the reflectlona on hlmaelf and lila state In connection with the Ixirl mer case, the venerable aenator aald ha bad not thought It becoming In him to discuss the Lorlmer matter either publicly or pri vately. "When the time come. I ahall vnte ac cording to the dictates of my conscience, " he said. "On the five occasions when the people of Illinois signally honored me by electing me to the enate." he continued, after review Inn Ills various political contests, "there was not even the slightest suggestion on the part of anyone of corruption or wrong doing In the legislature In connection with my election.

The rules of the senate, which permit un trammeled discussion of a measure are the principal barriers to a vote In that body. lltsr Senators Are Opposed. It la known that Senators Heyburn and Bailey are bitterly opposed to the agree ment and that the opposition extends also to moat . of the progressive republicans. Some of these senators have hinted that their relations with the White House have not been sufficiently pleasant of late to cause them to exert themselves In support of an administration measure. Senators Crane and Carter entered at once on a campaign designed to advance the president s program. Already they have conferred with other senators, who are es pecially friendly to the administration and have sought to enlist their services In a movement to extra session. The Impression has prevailed at the capl toi that President Taft would insist on votes on both the Canadian agreement and tha bill to create a permanent tariff board, but this partially was removed today.

Feb. 1 (Special Telegram. ) The county option bill wag defeated In the senate this morning by a vote of 17 to H. Henry Battling of Otoe county. who has been doubtful, voted against It. In an explanation Bartllng said: "When I accepted the nomination for atate senator I positively stated that If the county op tion plank was adopted I would refuse to stand on that part of the platform." His explanation continued with the statement that the vote In his county assured him that his constituents were opposed to the county option principle. Senator Jansen of Qage also sent up an explanation with his vote, which was af firmative. In which he arraigned the sa loons for political and social crimes. The vote was: Ayes: Bodlnson, Brown.

But another very Important use of the aeroplane aaa evidently in mind and that was Its possible employment by revolutionists in conveying Information of the movements of government n ps en deavoring to capture rebel forces. Mexico would not object to the employ ment of aeroplanes by the United States army as proposed, but would probably not like the appearance on the border of a number of aeroplanes, such as would be drawn to the proposed exhibition at LI 1 aso, if these machines are to operate over Mexican territory without responsi bility to the military authoiillea.
